SENATE COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY AFFAIRS

 SENATE BILL 530

The Senate Committee on Community Affairs will hear on Monday, March 28, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. in the Pat Thomas Committee Room, 412 Knott Building the above bill. This bill will create more lawsuits and billing hours. If senators want to help some "obviously needy" attorneys like Peter Dunbar and Gary Poliakoff, they really should vote YES on this ill-advised bill. This bill will, like last year's S1196, create nothing but more confusion and legal fees. It looks like this is exactly what the sponsors have in mind!

 

But if senators want to help associations and its members, they should vote to KILL S530 -- owners have enough problems in their communities -- and revive Senator Jeremy Ring's bill S1516 in its original version, a bill that would really help the constituents deal with the economic disaster. I honestly cannot understand how somebody -- other than dictators -- can be against FAIR ELECTIONS in HOAs and oppose a provision that would require insurance companies to inform all owners if a property insurance policy is cancelled for non-payment. We had two cases recently where the owners lost all their life-savings because boards took it upon themselves to stop paying the premium. Is that what Florida stands for?

 

Please contact the committee members and ask them to VOTE NO on this bill that will do nothing but create more billing hours for attorneys!

 

If you contact the legislators, please write in the subject line:
PLEASE VOTE NO ON SB 530


Chair: Senator Michael S. "Mike" Bennett (R)
